If I ever murder someone, it will be for this reason. I'm not even sure if I'm joking or not.

5. People who readily flaunt their weaknesses

With how much effort I put into bettering myself, it's mind-boggling to me to see someone almost bragging about how much effort it takes for them to maintain mediocrity. Why do you want pity? I'd rather hack my own nuts off than have someone genuinely feel pity for me.

6. Young dads who dress like "gangsters"

You have a child, why do you choose to look like your biggest priority in life is figuring out how to get out of english class so you can go smoke dope with your boys before the school bus comes to take you home? You're not your kid's "cool older brother," you're its father. Dress like a father.

7. People who instigate as con

And then have their opponent skip the last round to "keep things even". You people are weak. Your bloodline is weak. Your children will not survive the winter.

8. When someone calls me a "bodybuilder"

Stop it. I'm not one of those pretty-boy juice-heads. I'm a powerlifter, dammit!

9. Asians

'nuff said10. When multiple people respond to a post I made directed at someone else

Different people use words differently than others. When I'm deep into a highly-technical conversation with someone online, I tend to tailor my language in such a way to get my point across to that particular person as clearly as possible. You can't just jump in halfway through a conversation I'm having with someone else and expect me to carry this conversation on two+ fronts. Fvck off.

Don't you just hate it when you get a small cut on the roof of your mouth, and everytime you eat something salty it begins to sting. But since it's in the roof of your mouth, the only thing you could do is wait for it to heal. And then you wonder "How did I even get a cut there anyway". I swear I can't be the only one this happens to.

this is generally how i feel about people that do not know how to hunt, make a fire, and other wilderness survival things like building a shelter, crafting bows, spears, etc. Learn, because you absolutely never know when you might need to, and if it happens and you dont know how to, well you are dead, and then hows that modern lifestyle working out for you at that point?

I don't think that's every happened to me, actually. Burns on my tongue, on the other hand...

Coworkers who sing along horribly and loudly to music on the radio: can you say 'glossectomy'?

People with terrible hygiene: regular bathing has been all the rage since the 19th century; it always surprises me that some people haven't caught on.

Intellectual superciliousness: not impressed, it literally makes me cringe. Especially if if the person doesn't know what they're talking about; I can tolerate it if the snobbishness is at least warranted.

People who act like they're going to die because they'll be trapped in their house one day by snow. You don't need six cartons of milk when the power might go out, ya dumb b!tch. Just general consumerist absurdity.

Slow drivers: if you're more than 5 mph under the speed limit, you're doing it wrong. If you're more than 10 mph over, I <3 you, mostly because the cops will go after you instead of me.

Peanuts: they're not even nuts. They make me sick.

Red Solo Cups: self-explanatory.

Undisciplined children, and their obnoxious parents: your hand has a back to it for a reason.

And then have their opponent skip the last round to "keep things even". You people are weak. Your bloodline is weak. Your children will not survive the winter.

Lol, I've done this before. I don't see the big deal as long as you give your opponent a fair resolution and set the burden of proof as shared so you still have to make constructive arguments.

If the BoP is shared, then what's the point in having your opponent skip the last round?

It is an alternative to having your opponent use the first round as acceptance in order to keep the arguments per side even.

That's nonsense, the point is to get the advantage of having the last word in the debate without having to pay the Elo-penalty for being the contender.

The contender Elo-penalty was not created to compensate for the contender getting the last round, but to discourage noob-sniping. I don't think the last round advantage is necessarily that significant since there is usually an implied rule to not make new arguments in the last round, and the other side has the first round to set the tone of the debate which gives compensation.

I don't think that's true. In fact I seem to remember Ore_Ele himself stating that the point of the penalty was to compensate for the advantage the contender has in having the last word. Thing is, it doesn't really matter why the Elo penalty exists, because in practice you can game the system by instigating as Con and having your opponent skip the last round. I can tell you first hand it's harder to win debates you don't get the last word in.

Maybe I was wrong about the reason for the contendor Elo penalty. I wasn't here when that rule was set in place and I went off of the explanations others gave afterwards.

If you are concerned about people gaming the system, there are much more efficient ways of doing that then instigating as Con and having your opponent pass the last round.

Maybe there is maybe there isn't, but that's not the point. The point is that people do use that method to game the system and it's a pet-peeve of mine.

Fair enough.

But in my defense, I barely even knew what Elo was during that time I instigated as Con.

This. I will fvcking end my microwave if it keeps doing this. I contemplated returning it, but then my boyfriend made a mess of it with some leftovers. I think I'm just going to dismantle it until I can get the beeping thing out one of these days.

Yep. And then when I want to go get some groceries because I actually do need them and it just so happens to be snowing, they're all gone because of people like this. It's Buffalo, it snows here, get over yourself and buy a six pack and a shovel like the rest of us. Leave the fvcking bread alone.

My pet peeve is people with bad elevator manners. Like, if I am getting off of it, wait just a sec before you get on. Know what floor you're going to before you fvck up and press the wrong button. Don't hold the elevator for your friends if they're on the other side of the building. And for fvcks sake, TURN THAT DAMN PHONE OFF BEFORE I SHOVE IT UP YOUR @SS.
